TOPIC: DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE CAMPUS

VOTING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT

Federal University Birnin Kebbi, one of the federal universities in Nigeria,

needs a computerized management of student union elections due to the
shortcomings in the traditional human clerk mechanism employed in the
management of electioneering procedures at the university. This paper
presents the design of an electronic voter registration system to enable the
Electoral Commission of the Student Representative Council of the university
to use electronic device to capture voters’ information. The design will cover
some security issues like authenticating the nationality of the voters through
integrating the national ID database to the voters registration process and also
capturing the picture of the electorates for validation during election. The
system was designed using a top-down design approach. The visual basic 6
language is the language used in designing the program for the system
V.B.6.0 language offers the best in terms of its availability, easy to
understand, good graphic ability, flexibility and machine independence. The
present work was done to verify its efficiency and resistance to deliberate
errors. I recommend that INEC should employ this system of E-voting and
the staffs that will be handing this software package be given training on
computer bases on how to use the new system.
